Employment is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for, where one party, which may be a corporation, for profit, not-for-profit organization, co-operative or other entity is the employer and the other is the employee.

Employees work in return for payment, which may be in the form of an hourly wage, by piecework or an annual salary, depending on the type of work an employee does or which sector she or he is working in.

Employees in some fields or sectors may receive gratuities, bonus payment or stock options.

In some types of employment, employees may receive benefits in addition to payment.

Benefits can include health insurance, housing, disability insurance or use of a gym.

Employment is typically governed by employment laws or regulations or legal contracts.

A person's job is their role in society.

A job is an activity, often regular and performed in exchange for payment.

Many people have multiple jobs (e.g., parent, homemaker, and employee).

A person can begin a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a parent.

The duration of a job may range from an hour (e.g., odd jobs) to a lifetime (e.g., judges).

A salary is a form of periodic payment from an employer to an employee, which may be specified in an employment contract.

It is contrasted with piece wages, where each job, hour or other unit is paid separately, rather than on a periodic basis.

Life insurance (or life assurance, especially in the Commonwealth of Nations), is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the benefit) in exchange for a premium, upon the death of an insured person (often the policy holder).

Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger payment.

The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.

Other expenses (such as funeral expenses) can also be included in the benefits.

Recruitment (hiring) is a core function of human resource management.

Recruitment refers to the overall process of attracting, selecting and appointing suitable candidates.
